Britain’s power consumers are paying a heavy price for its maniacal obsession with intermittent wind and solar. Trashing its coal-fired power fleet and failing to keep up its nuclear plants now looks positively suicidal. However, of late, the MSM has been dishing up an alternative reality, peddling a line that power prices would be a … Continue reading Subsidised Suicide: Wind & Solar Power Chaos Driving Britain’s Rocketing Power Prices

Renewable Cult’s Claim That ‘Cheap’ Wind & Solar Power Cut Power Bills Goes Up In Smoke
The claim that wind and solar guarantee falling power bills is being revealed for the big fat lie that it truly is. It's a reality that is catching up with a vengeance for Australians gullible enough to have bought it. Tens of $billions have already been squandered on subsidies to chaotically intermittent wind and solar … Continue reading Renewable Cult’s Claim That ‘Cheap’ Wind & Solar Power Cut Power Bills Goes Up In Smoke
Baseload Basics: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Guaranteed to Keep Lights On In Australia
Germans soon recognised the importance of their coal-fired power plants, forced to reopen them days after shutting them down in January 2021 because, surprise, surprise, the wind stopped blowing. And that big backpedal occurred long before Vlad Putin began putting the squeeze on the gas supplies needed to prop up those occasions when Germany’s 30,000 … Continue reading Baseload Basics: Coal-Fired Power Plants Only Thing Guaranteed to Keep Lights On In Australia
Go Figure: No Accounting For True & Staggering Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar
Renewable energy rent seekers and their political enablers keep telling us that wind and solar are free and getting cheaper all the time, but notionally wind-powered Germans, Danes, Californians and South Australians might beg to differ; they already suffer the world's highest retail power prices, with worse to come. Nowhere in the world is there … Continue reading Go Figure: No Accounting For True & Staggering Cost of Intermittent Wind & Solar
Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck
Before the wind and sun cult took charge, the power grid was designed and run by engineers - using coal, a little gas, hydro and nuclear (everywhere else in the world except Australia, that is). It ran like clockwork; power was cheap as chips and delivered on demand. Electrical storms were the only thing that … Continue reading Reality Collision Course: World Accelerates Towards Subsidised Wind & Solar Trainwreck
No Respite: Wind & Solar Driven Power & Pricing Calamity Can Only Get Worse
With the debacle playing out in Europe and the UK, it takes a special brand of delusion the claim that increasing reliance on wind and solar will inevitably result in falling power prices. And delusion, in that respect, is very much the order of the day amongst Australia’s Green/Labor Alliance. When it comes to anything … Continue reading No Respite: Wind & Solar Driven Power & Pricing Calamity Can Only Get Worse
No Mystery: Human Progress Begins & Ends With Access to Reliable & Affordable Power
The misanthropes who glue themselves to roads and berate us about the ‘horrors’ of nuclear, coal and gas-fired power aren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, to be sure. Living in a fact and consequence free zone, they’ve never stopped to think for a moment what life would be like without light, heat and power. … Continue reading No Mystery: Human Progress Begins & Ends With Access to Reliable & Affordable Power
Wrong Bet: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Really About Lunatics Gambling With Your Money
Those pushing the wind and solar transition exhibit the kind of moral turpitude you’d expect from lunatics gambling with other people’s money. Politicians might have been forgiven a decade ago, but not now. Europe’s self-inflicted wind and solar calamity clearly hasn’t registered with Australia’s political class. The worst (but not the only) offenders are the … Continue reading Wrong Bet: Wind & Solar ‘Transition’ Really About Lunatics Gambling With Your Money
Don’t Believe The Hype: Exposing Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
There’s only one problem with the claim that wind and solar are cheap; that would be the evidence. The power pricing and supply calamity that has struck Britain and Germany, and places like California and South Australia before that, renders the “renewables are cheap” meme little more than delusional nonsense. But the unhinged and unsupported … Continue reading Don’t Believe The Hype: Exposing Staggering Cost of Subsidised Wind & Solar ‘Transition’
Australia’s Labor Government Determined to Repeat Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster
When it comes to energy policy, practised ignorance is the new black. The debacle playing out in wind and solar-obsessed Europe ought to be enough to have policymakers around the world regroup and rethink their hitherto maniacal quest for the all-wind and sun ‘transition’. But, in the land Downunder, not a bit of it. No, … Continue reading Australia’s Labor Government Determined to Repeat Europe’s Wind & Solar Disaster
